John, What makes speed important is it's relationship to ASP. All the profit is in the top three speed grades. Scumbria

Re: Assuming you are correct, at least at a temperature that you are comfortable with, does anyone outside of the AMD and Intel threads care? Most "business" PCs are sold at 866MHZ or slower. A PIII 866 can tolerate 80 degrees centigrade, a 933 only 75. So, I take that to mean that Compaq and HP care, and because of that Intel is seeing less demand and lower prices for its high speed processors than it otherwise would. I agree that at this point, its not a big deal. In Q4, when there are enough Tbirds and socket A motherboards to satisfy "business" demand levels, I think it will be a big deal. Dan
